Contest! Win THE HOUR 2, Series 2 on Blu-ray!

Season two rejoins The Hour team a year on in 1957 where we are introduced to new characters played by Peter Capaldi (The Thick Of It, The Nativity) Hannah Tointon (The Inbetweeners) and Tom Burke (State of Play)who join Dominic West, Romola Garai and Ben Whishaw. The six new episodes will see the team still striving to broadcast the stories they believe in as they grapple with the looming specter of the Cold War and changing social mores. With the space race and nuclear power, Britain seems on the threshold of a new era of modernization, economic optimism, scientific progress and cultural change in the face of new immigration from the Commonwealth. But under the buoyant veneer, our characters become deeply embroiled in cover-ups, sexual intrigues and the resurgence of Mosley's fascism.
